One of Greenfield Development Corporation’s many successful projects is one that aims to re-create a “city within a park” – Greenfield City. The 400-hectare mixed-use development project is located at Sta. Rosa, Laguna that’s now more popularly known as the “Makati of the South”.
In a report from Malaya, the master-planned community is distinctive for its concept of a “city within a park,” wherein commercial centers, lifestyle hubs and recreational facilities for the whole family are nestled against vast open spaces and parks, with an ambiance typical to peaceful, countryside living.
Suburban charm combined with urban conveniences make Greenfield City a family destination in the south that is also easily accessible – just a 45-minute-drive from Makati City.
The township’s green spaces are perfect for picnics, games of Frisbee, football, badminton or other sports activities as well as kite flying that can be held at the Greenfield City Sports Field.
A wide selection of restaurants and cafes are also present at the Paseo Outlets, the developer’s pioneer outlet mall. Having a late lunch or sipping artisanal coffee can be a weekly tradition after a great time outdoors. Among others, there’s the Ryuma Japanese Restaurant, Santi’s Delicatessen, Cafe Breton and Kanin Club.
Families looking for product bargains and unique finds will want to check Paseo’s haven of outlet stores, with some offering up to 70 percent off on goods. In every sense, it’s a place where sale is on every day. To name a few, there’s the Bench Depot, Nike Factory Store, Oakley Vault, Pottery Barn Outlet Store and Marks & Spencer. Extra shopping can be done at neighbouring Laguna Central and Arcadia.
For those who love to eat, Greenfield City Weekend Market located in Paseo Outlets is a diverse gastronomic hub. Every Saturday and Sunday evening, the place is transformed for outdoor, lantern-lit feasting, with a variety of appetizers, dishes, desserts and drinks, while jazz music serenades at the background as per the Malaya article.
As an added treat, children can play the limbo game, shoot rings in bottles or have fun at the giant board games of Connect Four and Chess.
